Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rigatoni

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing it into strips.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Asiago cheese until melted and smooth. Add the roasted sweet peppers, fresh spinach, and cherry tomatoes, cooking until the spinach wilts.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce. Finally, add the sliced chicken on top and serve immediately.
